[Objective] Transcriptional control of inflammation-relevant genes plays an important role in atherosclerosis. We have reported a dominant role of Yin Yang 1 (YY1), a transcriptional regulator, in proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (Santiago FS, Ishii H, et al. Circ Res in press). However, its effect in vascular endothelium remains unclear. Recent observation points a novel “genomic” effect of Angiotensin II to influence inflammation. In this study, we examined a potential contribution of YY1 in angiotensin type II receptor blocker (ARB)-mediated modulation of leukocyte-endothelial adhesion under flow condition. [Methods and Results] Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were co-incubated in the presence or absence of candesartan, an ARB (1 uM) for 4 hours with TNFα (5 ng/ml). Treatment with candesartan dramatically inhibited THP-1 cell adhesion to TNFα-activated HUVEC under static (p [Conclusion] We demonstrated that candesartan treatment upregulated YY1 in HUVEC and inhibited leukocyte-endothelial adhesion by inhibition of VCAM-1 expression. Our findings suggest a novel anti-inflammatory effect of ARB via YY1-dependent mechanisms.
